Todd's Taste of the Town

This is my suggestion for Todd's weekly disgusting food to consume in the event of victory this weekend. I wasn't able to find deep fried golden panther (that actually sounds kinda tasty), and I think that all-out cat should wait for an SEC opponent, so kitty food works for me. IMO it would be more entertaining that ridiculously hot wings (who hasn't seen someone do that?), and it is themed to the opponent. Better ideas? Let's hear 'em.
(BTW, if it does end up being ridiculously hot wings, there needs to be a time limit he keeps them in his mouth or something to make it interesting.)

Well...
… I’m not the biggest fan of the hot wings idea, but realistically for the lesser games you have to have a lesser food. Wet cat food is a bit much for someone like FIU, in my opinion.
I’ve honestly been trying to come up with ideas, and I’ve struggled a bit. I’ve Googled it, but everything I have came up with is either ungodly extreme — like drinking snake wine with a still beating snake heart, whole roasted rats, etc. — or stuff that honestly I don’t find that disgusting (gator meat, etc.).

This should be stuff designed for human consumption....
….I’m not eating cat/dog/fish/monkey/whatever food. Also, snake wine with a still beating snake heart!?!? WTF? Where did you find that?

….I’ll eat things that are intended for human consumption but that are not necessarily fit for human consumption.

You could probably go all season...
…on just cow and pig parts. NOTHING gets thrown away.
Also, maybe some people like’em, but pickled eggs are kinda nasty but edible enough for FIU.
Oh yeah....
Save the snake wine with the still beating snake heart for LSU. Sounds voodoo-ish.

Snake wine...
There’s a pic of the snake wine.
Apparently it originated in Vietnam, but has spread somewhat through southeast Asia. The idea is that you put a whole venomous snake inside the bottle / jar of snake wine. Apparently the ethanol or something like that in the wine offsets the actual venom. The idea of it all is to actually have the snake venom dissolved in the alcohol itself.
The local custom, apparently, is to drink the snake wine while you are eating cooked snake. Also, as a bit of lagniappe, again sometimes you eat a beating snake heart with it (and no I have no clue how that works).
You’re going to have to go to the black market to get these though. Apparently it’s illegal to import snake wine into the US because the snakes from which the wines are made are often endangered species.
Of course, though, I’m sure you could brew your own at home. Maybe some rattlesnake wine or something like that. I’m sure you could find a recipe somewhere online. Obviously you have to save that for the national title game, but it’s a thought.

Apparently...
… this is a big thing in some of the cultures of Southeast Asia from what I’ve read. In the region snakes are widely believed to possess medicinal powers, and apparently the wine is billed as a cure-all that will pretty much fix any ailment that you have. It’s pretty much their version of Indian elixir, so to speak.

And...
… you can have your pick, they do scorpion wine too:

Andrew Zimmerman did this
on Bizzare Foods on the travel channel. He said it was pretty nasty if I recall.
Tried snake wine,
tasted like formaldehyde. It was a much smaller bottle and smaller snake sorta like the scorpion below.
So, wait...
… you have tried it before, or you tried it after reading about it in this thread?
If it’s the latter, I’m afraid we here at RBR have done you a major disservice.

At least Todd didn't want to have a bunch of people...
…sit around in their underwear and throw a pool ball at each other’s privates like that one episode. Maybe it wasn’t a pool ball, but it was something unpleasant.
Snake wine...
I read about it in this book:
Andrew Pham’s Catfish & Mandala mentions that it’s supposed to enhance virility.
Yes, having lived in Taiwan and visiting other parts...
…of the region, supposedly EVERYTHING bizarre to eat increases your virility. In Taipei’s snake market they will actually pull a live snake out of it’s cage, crack it like a whip to snap the spine, then serve you snake’s blood mixed in liquor. Yum.
Actually...
…I went back and found the passage in that book, it’s not snake wine, but a BEATING COBRA HEART SHOT. They extract the beating heart of a live, paralyzed cobra and drop it in a shot of liquor and you shoot the whole thing as the heart is pumping/diffusing tiny amounts of blood in the liquor.
That’s hardcore.
BTW, Pham vomited after drinking it.

Just because it won’t kill you does not make it food.
"Hell, no! A tie is like kissing your sister!"
I have a few suggestions
My wife is Asian, so I have to endure some pretty disgusting (sorry honey, it won’t happen again) savory food from time to time.
Most of the things served with an order of Dim Sum
Chicken Talons
Steamed Tripe
Raw Liver
Durian
Anything with a Ghost Chili Pepper
If those don’t suffice, have a bowl of breast milk ice cream
MATRIX: Bennett, I thought you were--
BENNETT: Dead? You thought wrong. Ever since you had me thrown out of the unit, I've been waiting to pay you back. Do you know what today is, Matrix? Payday.
An addendum
I’ll eat things that are intended for human consumption
Before some self-righteous teetotaler pounces on me for ignoring those with lactic intolerance, let me clarify that “Breast Milk Ice Cream” is a derivative of something that is intended for human consumption (albeit an extremely young human) and has been known for it’s medicinal value since The Grapes of Wrath.

Yep...
…the sheep eyeball from Iceland and the water from poop in Africa took the cake for me. Oh, and that gigantic caterpillar that exploded in his mouth was nasty too.
Durian is awesome if you leave it in the freezer overnight.
It kills that 3-day old roadkill smell, and has the consistency of ice cream.
Might I suggest...

According to Todd, unlike last year’s embarrassing admissions which were intended to attempt to curry favor with the football gods before games, Todd’s taste of the town will instead eat something extremely disgusting as a sign of gratitude after the games to thank the football gods for allowing us to emerge victorious.

Here's my list of suggestions:
Looking at the wikipedia description of century eggs led me to this glorious discovery:
ไข่เยี่ยวม้า or ‘khai yiow ma’ which means ‘horse urine eggs’ or eggs preserved in fermented horse urine. Mmm mmm good.
I’d also like to offer a few suggestions from European menu:
haggis
is a bit tame. Everyone who visits Scotland or Ireland or wherever they make it eats that. It’s disgusting, sure, but we need something with some kick to it. Haggis might be good for FIU or N. Texas, but after that Todd needs to up the ante.

Lutefisk isn't that bad.

A name contest might be interesting though, although after the direction this thread went, there’s no telling what we’d end up with.

On that note,
it would be funny if Todd set up his videos like Blackledge does. Instead of the ‘Taste of the Town’ bus, he could have an official VW van or some other piece of junk vehicle. He always needs to take a huge mouthful, so that he can’t talk and eat at the same time, and fill airtime with “mmmmprhhh yeahphr, it’s guud,” or in this Todd’s case, disgusting. He needs documentary on how each disgusting thing is prepared, or at least footage of the animal he is eating. I don’t know, I’m just rambling, but it would be a nice parody. It might even make ESPN if we tried hard enough for one of the night games!

Oh...
trust me, I got the reference. That’s why I went with a take-off of the name.
I noticed that Blackledge’s usual accomplice, Mike Patrick, wasn’t with him for the last game. Is that permanent, or can we look forward more Britney Spears references in the future?

I don’t think I’ll ever eat a Filet-O-Fish again.
BTW, I lived in Alabama for 27 years and had never tasted a Mountain Oyster. I moved out to Arizona, and the first week here we went to place that specialized in hog balls. I ate one on a dare, and I’m here to tell ya-They’re delicious! It might just be the tastey sauce that was served with them, but me and a buddy ate a whole plate!

That site is hilarious.
There are some really absurd things on there that cracked me up. Some stuff I might try to recreate. I think Kleph should send in his bacon peanut butter bread recipe. Didn’t OTS actually try to make it?
Yes I did...
… I made it, or at least I should say I made a version of it. I didn’t have quite the bacon or the peanut butter on hand that the recipe called for — about 1/4th of a cup short on each ingredient — but nevertheless I made it.
Anyway, crack jokes if you want, but it was actually damn good. If you like the combination of salty and sweet — which most people do, see stuff like Payday bars, etc. — then you’ll like it. Again, it may sound weird to some, but it’s really not weird at all. There are tens of thousands of salty / sweet products for sale out there, and this one is really no different.
Obviously it isn’t the healthiest thing in the world, of course, but it can be done to where it’s no more unhealthy than your typical flour-based baking product.

You could do something that is edible, but gross...
….like a Peanut butter & jelly sandwich with Mayonaise and ketchup on it….fried.

For the record,
I think ‘possum needs to be on the list somewhere – not for this game, but down the road. There’s not a person in the South that doesn’t have some the ability to hook Todd up with someone who can prepare one that, though disgusting, would in fact be fit for human consumption.

No first hand experience
But my MawMaw used to tell me if you want to fix a possum correctly, you have to catch it and keep it in a pen and just feed it grain for a month or so. They apparently taste bad from the carion that they eat, but if you fatten them up on corn and stuff, they’re pretty good.

What's for dinner this week?
The Clamato beer thing is totally disgusting. I think potted meat products on crackers would be equally challenging and might be considered on down the road.
Deviled ham is well...ham...
…potted meat products are umm…I have no clue actually. I think deviled ham is the easy way out…gotta go potted meat. ha!
Potted Meat Ingredients:
Armour Star: Mechanically separated chicken, beef tripe, partially defatted cooked beef fatty tissue, beef hearts, water, partially defatted cooked pork fatty tissue, salt, and less than 2 percent: mustard, natural flavorings, dried garlic, dextrose, sodium erythorbate, and sodium nitrite.
Hormel: Beef tripe, mechanically separated chicken, beef hearts, partially defatted cooked beef fatty tissue, meat broth, vinegar, salt, flavoring, sugar, and sodium nitrite.
Libby’s: Mechanically separated chicken, pork skin, partially defatted cooked pork fatty tissue, partially defatted cooked beef fatty tissue, vinegar, less than 2% of: salt, spices, sugar, flavorings, sodium erythorbate and sodium nitrate.
